I was behind the 8 ball growing up, having a highly sensitive mind that often struggled to handle life’s challenges. It really is something that has bugged me for some time now. Surely, there must be another way of processing life’s information for the sake of growing stronger and moving forward, one that works better for a Highly Sensitive Mind.
So where does one start? By ‘Lessing’, of course. In this case, Lessing meant letting go of the ‘object’ of what I am learning and shifting my focus onto the very method of my understanding itself. Only then could I discover a more effective way of learning for this ultrasensitive and often annoying mind of mine.

I also reveal the tricks I have learned along the way, tricks that have enabled me to overcome those challenges and give any intellect a run for their money.
